Hi there people,
Been looking for a solution to my problem for a while now but nothing seems to work so hopefully someone on here can help me. On my desktop my recycle bin shows that it's not empty but when i open it there s nothing there. At first when i tried to empty it it said are you sure you want to delete WINDOWS. At first i was too scared to click delete but after a while i did and it then said "Cannot.delete Native.Instruments.Reaktor.v3.to.v4.Decrypter: The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name."

Also recently it s changed from WINDOWS to "these 6 items" So I ve started deleting without placing in the recycle bin.

Everything that i ve read about it says that it must be connected to a long file name but I'm not sure about how to proceed. I ve tried using a file shredder on it but the same message comes up. Apart from a full re-install has anyone got any suggestions.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
